Home Evening Guides
The home is the great "center of gospel learning." (President Russell M. Nelson) These home evening guides are intended to support parents in teaching their children about the plan of salvation, procreation, and the sanctity of human life. The guides are also provided for adult Latter-day Saints to gather and learn these truths together.
